The bodybuilding brothers who sued Jussie Smollett’s lawyers for defamation say the actor’s counselors are ducking them, and they want the U.S. Marshals to get involved.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo filed their federal lawsuit against Mark Geragos, Tina Glandian and the Geragos & Geragos Law Firm one month ago. The same day, April 23, notices and requests for waivers of service went out to all three defendants, according to a motion filed by the brothers’ lawyers Wednesday.

How do you combine bodybuilding and not eating? Ahmet Konus is as a bodybuilder always busy with his diet, but now pays extra attention to it during Ramadan.

In the first week he was mainly busy adapting his training schedule to his new eating times. “Because you eat less, you also have less energy. You have to take that into account, “says Ahmet. “I immediately notice it in my muscles, so I adjust the intensity. I make sure that I do the same exercises, but with less weight. ”

...So this guy in Michigan was selling Kratom but doing it deceptively. Now he is busted.

Michigan man busted for selling over $1 million worth of illegal kratom across the U.S.

Mike Wehner
May 9th, 2019

Who says crime doesn’t pay? For 36-year-old Matthew Dailey of Royal Oak, Michigan, crime most certainly did pay, and for quite a while. That ended this week when he was forced to forfeit $1,000,000 of the proceeds he had collected from selling kratom across the United States.

Dailey, who reportedly deceived the FDA and other authorities long enough to import several tons of the illegal plant-based substance to his Michigan home where he repackaged and sold it as a cure for everything from chronic pain to Lyme disease. His products, which were sold online to buyers across the country, made him a millionaire in short order.

In a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice, Dailey’s scheme seems to have been fairly easy to execute. The report states that Dailey was able to trick the FDA by intentionally mislabeling his massive shipments of kratom as things like “incense” and “paint pigment,” neither of which wouldn’t raise the eyebrow of authorities.

As part of his plea agreement, Dailey further admitted that he repackaged and labeled the illegally imported kratom in his residence, which he did not register as a facility that manufactured, prepared, and processed drugs, as required under the FDCA. Dailey then sold and shipped kratom products to consumers throughout the United States for use as a drug without providing any directions for use, such as indications, dosage instructions, methods of administration, or contraindications.

Dailey’s home business, called Nomad Botanicals, promoted the supplements as natural cures for some pretty serious medical conditions such as opiate withdrawal.

Kratom is illegal in a handful of states but it’s not regulated in most areas of the U.S., and while debate over a nationwide ban continues to rage on, it’s still entirely illegal to sell the substance as a treatment for medical conditions without any FDA clearance. Dailey’s intentional deception of the FDA and drug regulators is what ultimately doomed him, despite the substance itself being legal for many of his customers to possess.

FDA Announces Plan to Increase...It was only a matter of time before this happened. They have been trying to strangle the bodybuilding supplement industry for years!

The existing framework under which the FDA regulates dietary supplements was shaped, in large part, by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).2 While the growth and development of the dietary supplement industry has stimulated significant health advancements, it has also, according to the FDA, led to an increase in the number of adulterated and misbranded products on the market. These include “those [products] spiked with drug ingredients not declared on their labels, misleading claims, and other risks.”3

On the same day that the Statement was published, the FDA sent 12 warning letters and five online advisory letters to 17 companies for allegedly making unproven claims that their products can prevent, treat, or cure Alzheimer’s disease and other serious illnesses and conditions, including diabetes and cancer.4 While these letters are the first of the FDA’s enforcement efforts under the modernized regulatory scheme, they also reflect a continuation of its ongoing commitment to “protect consumers from Alzheimer’s disease health fraud.” Specifically, the Agency has issued more than 40 warning letters in the past five years against companies making Alzheimer’s disease claims about more than 80 products, collectively.5 The Statement reiterates that “[d]ietary supplements can, when substantiated, claim a number of potential benefits to consumer health, but they cannot claim to prevent, treat, or cure diseases like Alzheimer’s.”6

As the FDA continues to develop and implement a modernized framework for dietary supplement oversight, industry should expect to see continued, and likely increasing, enforcement against companies making serious medical claims about their products, particularly online and/or via social media platforms. In addition, the FDA’s announced plans for the near future include steps to:

Develop and implement a new rapid-response tool to quickly alert the public when supplements are found to pose a health risk or contain illegal ingredients

Update the new dietary ingredient (NDI) compliance policy, and amend/issue guidance on the NDI notification process to ensure that it effectively allows the FDA to thoroughly evaluate the safety of NDIs before they are made available to consumers
